Natalie Hickman

Natalie joined the Accounts Department in November 2013, as our second apprentice in the department. We decided to recruit another apprentice due to the previous success of Craig, who is still in the department after his apprenticeship has finished. Natalie is an essential member of the team, and now takes care of the Lincs FM sales Ledger on her own. Natalie’s ability to learn has enabled her to take on this responsibility in less than 5 months, which is a great achievement.

“After completing the first year of sixth form and gaining my AS Level results, I realised that I sought a career in accounting. Since I had chosen my AS Level subjects prior to my new career aim, I felt as though staying at Sixth Form in full time education wasn’t the right choice for me and that I wanted to start earning experience from joining a work environment. I heard the job for an assistant accountant advertised on Lincs FM and applied immediately.

I have always been treated as part of the team and I believe that working for Lincs FM has given me a real insight into Commercial Radio and the work that goes on behind its success. I am very grateful for the time and patience my manager, Steven, along with the other members of the team, have put in to helping me to achieve my potential in my apprenticeship”
